Don’t expect the same old Leandro Higo at Bellator 195, even though he wasn’t really expecting another shot at the bantamweight title.
The Brazilian fighter, who turned 29 in January, made his Bellator debut last April in a title fight with then-champion Eduardo Dantas, missing weight and losing via split decision. “Pitbull” came back to the winning column in October, defeating Joe Taimanglo, and is once again fighting for the 135-pound gold.
Higo will face Darrion Caldwell in the main event of Friday’s Bellator 195 in Thackerville, Okla.
